Brothers, I need help. I've been experimenting on smoking spatchcock chicken. The meat always turns out perfect ( meater probe helps ) but the skin is always horrible.

For this one I smoked at 225-250° till internal temp was 130° and then moved to the over at 420° till 160° and rested. The skin was like eating burnt leather with herbs on it.

How do y'all do it?

 

Cook it at a high temp the whole (shorter) time

 

Leave it in the smoker at a higher temp the whole time? What temp do you do?

 

I usually do mine at 350F and pull at 160F to let it rise to 165F while it rests for a bit. Others may have different ideas too

 

Yep, render the fat in the skin without burning it. You can also do skinless chicken breast this way so it doesn’t turn into rubber

 

I'll give this a try and let y'all know how it goes, thanks

 

This is the play. 350-375.

Looks like I got two ways to try now, thanks man.

 

I put my rub underneath the skin and then ditch it after the cook.

 

Loosen the skin to get the rub under it. A bit of butter/bacon/evo will help with the rub as will a bit of lemon juice or balsamic. High heat will render the fat from the skin and get it crispy.

 

I know it's the bbq smoking forum but this is where I hang out.
Fuuuuuuck, my mechanic just informed me my 2005 Tacoma prerunner has frame failure. It's soft with his screwdriver going thru in spots.
Gonna take to weld shop to see if they can save it. Doubtful.
I ain't leaving here anyway lol

 

Turn it into a smoker?

 

I like the way you think
